ASHLEY’S P.O.V.

So we’re sitting on my bed and polishing our nails waiting for uncle Art to take us to the mall.

Spencer: “So…you know what next Wednesday is don’t you?” she asked in a hopeful tone.

Ashley: “Spencer, you’re my best friend, I’ve known you my whole life, and, we live together. So of course I know what next Wednesday is.” I say with a smug smile.

Spencer: “I’ll finally be thirteen!!!” she yipped

Ashley: “Yea, but…I already beat you by a good twelve days.”

Spencer: “Way to ruin my excitement.”

Ashley: “Sorry, but since I am older than you, I do have higher authority, and I say you don’t get to gloat about being thirteen until…” I stop to think. “until you’re actually thirteen.” she throws a pillow at me. “What’s so special about being one year older anyway?”

Spencer: “Because, I asked my mom when I was like…11 about when I could go on my first real date, and she said I can date when I’m a teenager, and thirteen is officially a teenager.” she says grinning from ear to ear.

Ashley: “So who are you planning on dating Spence?” I ask confused.

Spencer: “I heard that Timmy Johnson likes me, so maybe him.”

Ashley: “Timmy is so not cute!” I exclaim.

Spencer: “I don’t know…I mean I think he is kind of cute.” Huh?

Ashley: “Whatever.” I mumble. I can feel it, word vomit. Don’t say something you’ll regret, just don’t…

Ashley: “All this over boys?! That’s all you ever think about now.” Oops, is it to late to make a retraction?

Spencer: “Hey! I’m a girl, it’s what I do.” she slightly chuckles. “And don’t act like I’m the only one thinking about ‘em.” she says tapping my forehead. “I know you are too.” I stifle a laugh.

Ashley: “Uh…no.”

Spencer: “Well then what are you thinking about?” she asks, but with a smirk. I gulp, OMG does she know? Ok, now’s the time to move the conversation in a different direction, do it quick!

Ashley: “School. I am the smart one, remember?” I say in a DUH! Tone.

Spencer: “Whatever, I’m just as smart as you are.” I mentally sigh in relief that she believed me.

Ashley: “Rrriiiigghht.” she scoffs.
